turnpike troubadours - the rut lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
early fall descended on the dry back country aspens
it could be any time now that the bulls start bugling
i watched the pack mule panniers, see the loads are riding even
is it in my mind or did i finally hear one sing?

[verse 2]
it’s been ten years since i first came to the mountains with my father
a half pint in each saddle bag and stars in both my eyes
i don’t miss the taste of liquor or really anything about it
but the temporary shelter was a welcome compromise

[chorus]
oh friend, i’m gonna ride out of the rut i’m in
a little elevation and an open+ended prayer
holdin’ out for more than breakin’ even
i’ve come back to the mountains and they’re all still standin’ there

[verse 3]
the bull had come in tight and he was screamin’ in dark timber
i could see his brown eyes movin’, hear him breathin’ as he wheeled
but tomorrow full of promise, i just lived there in the moment
hunted back door camp for enough grouse to make a meal

[chorus]
oh friend, i’m gonna ride out of the rut i’m in
a little elevation and an open+ended prayer
holdin’ out for more than breakin’ even
well, i’ve come back to the mountains and they’re all still standin’ there
[instrumental break]

[chorus]
oh friend, i’m gonna ride out of the rut i’m in
a little elevation and an open+ended prayer
holdin’ out for more than breakin’ even
i’ve come back to the mountains and they’re all still standin’ there
